Infinity Genomes is a genome analysis platform for real-time prediction of potential outbreaks of microbial taxa of interest. It is designed for continuous monitoring (with what software/script?) of the NCBI database and screening for the taxa of interest, downloading their reads (using what? where to?) and integrating it with a previously constructed phylogenetic tree which is perpetually updated using PUmPER (http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/content/30/10/1476.long).
